Kerre Woodham: Willis and Richardson debating would be a pointless waste of time


Do you see any advantage or benefit to the country in having a former Finance Minister and the current one debating fiscal policy?

The current Finance Minister, Nicola Willis, has challenged the former Finance Minister, Ruth Richardson, to a debate. Now, that is misguided in my view, but to be fair, she was grievously provoked. Ruth Richardson is the chair of the Taxpayers' Union. The Taxpayers' Union is a pressure group, a ginger group, founded in 2013 to scrutinise government spending, publicise government waste, and promote an efficient tax system.
